Sounds like they are just rubbing it off. If possible put them in pens with no places to rub( No Trees, Post, corners jutting into pen ect).

If it is lice or mange, within 20 days of putting the ivomec on you need to use a lice powder on them. If you do not the eggs the lice laid will hatch and the problem will repeat itself. Hope this helps!!!

No dont put the powder on right after the drench wait a day or overnight and do the powder in the morning. But make sure to use both it makes a pretty lethal combo for lice!!! ;)
